Ann Littlewood was a zoo keeper in Portland, Oregon for twelve years.
She raised lions and cougars, an orangutan; and native mammals, as well
as parrots, penguins, and a multitude of owls. The financial realities
of raising primates (two boys of her own) led Ann to exchange a hose and
rubber boots for a briefcase and pantsuit in the health care industry.
Ann has maintained her membership in the American Association of
Zookeepers and has kept in touch with the zoo world by visiting zoos and
through friendships with zoo staffers. http://zoomysteries.com/
